One page to give on the first day of the unit on equivalent and comparing fractions, before any teaching. Its six questions are on the 3rd grade fractions and the facts the unit builds on: naming a shaded fraction and a point on a number line, comparing fractions with the same denominator or the same numerator, missing factors (4 × ? = 12) and a number two rows of multiples share. It has a Score line, and the key names the lesson each question leads into. The unit review and the unit test are packs of their own.
Give the pre-check on the first day and sort the class by what they missed. A student who misses the missing factors will need the multiplication facts close by for the lessons on multiplying and dividing to find equal fractions; one who misses the multiples will need help finding a common denominator in lesson 7.4. A student who misses the comparisons needs fraction strips before the unit's comparing lessons.
Use it to see what your child needs before the unit starts: practise the times tables to 12, and ask which is more, 3/8 or 5/8 of the same pizza.

A check to give before the unit on equivalent and comparing fractions, on the 3rd grade fractions and facts it builds on. Students name shaded fractions and points on a number line, compare fractions with the same denominator or numerator, and find missing factors and common multiples.
